Testimonials

On 11/23/2025 Jam Peanut Butter had this to say:
I have not tried the food here as of yet. I understand it’s a bbq place. Not a big fan of that though I do enjoy smoking meat, vegetables etc. This review is of the bar, the atmosphere and the service. Well stocked, well displayed and all around pleasant in sight. The owner has done a very good job with the overall design and layout of this place. My impression of the owner is that of a mild mannered straightforward business owner. A gentleman. A rarity in the business. I was served by Morgan. Professional and polite. A find in the restaurant field. Easy on the eye and a personality as sweet as buttermilk pie. This is a nice place that I feel comfortable in after trucking all day and all night for weeks on end. And finally the prices. As reasonable as it’s going to get anywhere. I bought a lot of libations not just for myself but other drivers also. My bill was a $100.00. At other places I go to this would have been hundreds. Overall drivers and travelers alike are missing out by not stopping by for one or a few. To enjoy the atmosphere here.
